Northern Expressions Arts Collective (NEAC) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to
improving our communities using the arts as a primary teaching platform. NEAC promotes
family friendly entertainment, artist development, and community service projects. It is our
desire for every community to have a thriving arts program to feed local community
involvement while we train up the next generation of leaders.

NEAC is pleased to offer our new Stories 2 Life program, which
helps to encourage a love of reading for kids of all ages!

The concept is simple: We take a children's book or story (or a
chapter from a book for older kids) and turn it into an interactive,
theatrical experience that will not only instill a love of literature, but will
also teach an important character-building lesson.

We are available for school groups, church groups, daycare centers,
or even birthday parties!
